    MEP-803A issue... Won't start... HELP?!?!?!

    Good call Mike. Did you get a chance to jump back on it Jayco?

    Generator in a shipping container

    Nothing saying you couldnt just leave it open, but only slightly. Or just plumb in a nipple barb, and hook a plastic drip line to it, and direct out of your container.

    Generator in a shipping container

    What justacitizen described was basically what I was going to tell you. I am sure you can find a fitting suitable for this. In fact, why not just drill and tap the black iron cap fitting that you could install in the bottom of the T, and just use a fitting similar to whats already on your MEP...

    Well how do you intend on plumbing it.... straight up? Or out the side? How far is the exit point from the current exhaust termination on the genset?

    MEP-803A issue... Won't start... HELP?!?!?!

    Yeah plumb it all back together, and let it prime itself for a good five minutes. Try to crank it. Let it prime some more, and crank it. If its gonna go, its gonna go. Its not going to wear the battery down letting a little fuel pump run 5-10 minutes.

    diesel chainsaws?

    This is too funny. What crossed my mind over the weekend, while staring at the tree line for a bit? Wonder if I can find a diesel chainsaw​.

    newer 803A smokes and bogs down with load ... start with injectors?

    Everything you have been told so far are great places to start. I would change all the filters first. Have you drained the tank, cleaned, and put in known good & fresh fuel? Do that too, and put in a whole can of Seafoam. I would personally then let the system run at 50% load for as long as you...

    MEP 803 Fuel filter on Aux. input

    Is it easier for you to filter the fuel before it hits the machine, or in the machine? I would think you will get a higher flow rate (and possible better filtering) if you go with an inline filter before it even hits the machine.

    My (new to me) MEP-803a won't crank from start switch.

    I didn't know the reset button acted like a temporary override too... so that's great to know. Thanks Guy.

    My (new to me) MEP-803a won't crank from start switch.

    Try this... the instant it starts, flip the battle short on. See if it still runs, and if the light illuminates.

    Testing Aux Fuel Pump Operation

    Now I am not saying I have insider knowledge... but with Russia-phobia running at full tilt right now, it begs the question: was there any intervention?

    what this plate means

    I believe it is a brand new engine. Most that have been 'reset' have a LP 'remanufactured' tag/sticker where the Onan label is on the photo provided.

    Fixing up a MEP-802A

    Just fill it up with hose water, and run it under load. That will do the trick. A few times, of course.

    Battery Apology

    I've got a pair of Yellowtops in my 802 for this very reason. For machines that I have gone through, I outfit with Exide brand (TSC is the price winner here). I believe they are a good middle of the road solution (under $100/ea) between the extremes. Thats the best part about these forums... all...

    Fixing up a MEP-802A

    When you think you have flushed it enough, flush it one more time.​ Pretty gross, right?

    M1000 apu diesel motor

    Well I called my local Kubota engine dealer, and was given a price of $3100USD, plus freight. Chap was gonna get back to me with availability (not a domestically produced engine). I will report back when they provide me with info.

    Why not just outfit the trailer for your wife, and put the generator where you want? :razz:

    802s are louder than 803s, IMO.
